Honest Confession

I’ve been studying English since 5th grade. That’s 40 years now.

But honestly, **I didn’t choose it.**

My parents sent me to English classes. There were lots of classmates, so I just continued. No special motivation, no burning passion. I just kept going, and before I knew it, I’d been an English teacher for over 15 years.

But You’re Different

I want to ask you, the Japanese language learner:

**Why Japanese?**

Nobody forced you, right? Your parents didn’t say “go study Japanese.”

You chose this yourself. One of the world’s most complex languages. A language with three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji.

A Call from Past Lives?

Among the foreign students I’ve taught, some say things like:

“I don’t know why, but Japanese just clicks for me”
“I feel like I was Japanese in a past life”
“This culture calls to me on a soul level”

Maybe you feel this way too?

Were you a Heian period poet in a past life?
An Edo period craftsman?
A Meiji era writer?

That would explain it. Why chopsticks feel natural in your hands. Why the concept of “wa” (harmony) makes perfect sense to you.

Your Passion Moves Me

After 40 years of “forced English,” your passion amazes me.

You debate particle usage in online forums, practice beautiful handwriting, and cry over poetry you barely understand but somehow feel in your heart.

You don’t just want to speak Japanese. **You want to live Japanese.**
So Your Writing Should Be Beautiful

To honor that call from deep in your soul, your Japanese must be beautiful.

Grammar being correct isn’t enough.
Having the right words isn’t enough.

Your writing must carry that “something” that drew you to Japanese in the first place.

One Final Question

**If you could write one perfect sentence in Japanese, what would it be?**

Whether that sentence comes from past life memories or present passion, don’t you think it deserves to be written beautifully?
